A book that I just finished for a work related training is book called Crucial Conversations -(tools for talking when stakes are high).
This book can really help when your dealing with issues in a mixed faith marriage.
I wish I would have read this 5 years ago. It would have helped alleviate 90% of my marriage issues when I became a non believer. Many of those problems where caused by my poor communication or lack of productive communication.

I have that book sitting on my shelf in my office at work. Same training I'm guessing. Did you get to watch the cheesy videos with it made by vitalmart? I think there was a mormon connection with Covey writing the second forward and two of the authors were LDS.
These 3 chapters were my favorite.
Chapter 5: how to make it safe to talk about almost anything.
Chapter 6: how to stay in dialogue when you're angry.
Chapter 8: how to listen when others blow up or clam up.
Overall it was a good book and easy to read and can be picked up for $20. In case you don't want to spend $20 on reddit ads, that is.

I havent watched the videos. Thanks for the heads up on being cheesy. Once i saw the into by covey i kind of figured it had mormon ties.
It gets kind of boring through some of it. But it really helped me understand what i can do to have more meaningful conversation with out coming accross as a total ass hat. Especially when talking about church stuff

I bought this on Audible years ago. I may need to listen again.
